Mobiroo offers unlimited paid app downloads for a flat monthly fee

Mobiroo is hoping to hop on the popularity of mobile device subscriptions by offering users access to hundreds of top paid apps at a flat monthly rate. At the promotional price of just $2.49 per month, users will be able to download any paid app in the Mobiroo library, which it claims at this point would cost thousands of dollars if purchased from Google Play. The catalog supposedly has a good spread of top apps from multiple genres, and is continuing to expand. The expected price of the service after the promotional period ends is $5 per month, which still seems like a good value.

What will really matter in the end is if the apps you want are on the service. If they are, you could have a chance to save a lot of money if you'd prefer to keep a flat monthly fee for all of your purchases. It certainly won't work for everyone, but if the app catalog is robust enough it could be interesting. You can see more about Mobiroo and sign up for the service at the source link below.

The apps have an added permission to read phone app data, unsure if it is just a list of apps installed on your device or if transmits user data and info as well. I am a little Leary about any app that scans my phone.

Yup, just like any of the companies pushing for software subscriptions, the idea (for them) is for you to continue to pay indefinitely for what you used to pay for only a single time. As is usually the case, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is...

I'm not sure you can even use them if you back them up. Doesn't the Amazon app store require you to have the app installed to use. This app pulls the internet. Probably is called every time you load an app you got from them. Reads that you have canceled and wont allow the app to run.

Not for me. This will go belly up and leave all you rebuying all your apps.

I consider the business model fundamentally flawed and unsustainable. Netflix has had trouble with studios because the pricing model doesn't provide the studios with enough margin. Keep in mind the marginal cost of providing a movie or TV show to stream is nothing. Apps require constant updates, so what is mobiroo going to provide app developers per month that their app is going to be installed on someone's device?
